594 Hotel, Full Service

These structures are three or more stories high, having multiple sleeping units without individual kitchen facilities. Where the ground floor is entirely divided into stores and shops, use occupancy 353 (Retail Store) for that floor. The quality of the hotel is determined primarily from the interior refinements. The best quality hotels have a large amount of high-cost wall cover and floor finish in the open and public areas. Sleeping rooms also contain high-cost wall cover as part of the interior finish. The size of the support facilities, e.g., restaurants, bars, meeting space, etc., is largely dependent on the size and capacity of the facility rather than the quality of the improvements. Lobby, lounges, restaurants, ballrooms, meeting rooms, kitchens, laundry, storage facilities and office areas are commensurate with the building class and quality chosen. For limited service facilities, use occupancy 595 (Hotel, Limited Service).

The following are not included in the costs: Canopies and balconies, swimming pools, furniture, fixtures and equipment (such as bars, counters or seating, kitchen equipment, etc.) that are not permanently attached under the general building contract.
